I wanted to start a thread on the upcoming April 8 solar eclipse that will be visible across large swaths of the United States. Perhaps we can start with anyone who has plans to attempt to see it, and go from there. Thread is and can be open ended.
For my part, my family will be traveling to Dallas, TX. We have family there so it works out. April is not a great time of year vis-a-vis cloud cover for viewing an eclipse, so this could be a very expensive failure, but I'll take my chances! Currently planning to photograph with a SLR - in my case, I have Canon R5 and R7 bodies, the 800mm F11 lens and solar filters, which has worked fairly well for hand-held solar photography over the past year or two.
Anyone else here either in or close to the path of totality, or planning to travel in hopes of seeing it?
